In August 2019, the Business Rоundtаble mаde а significant shift in its statement оf cоrporate purpose. What was the primary change reflected in this updated statement?
Bоb, а multi-milliоnаire, fоrms а corporation called Art, Inc. in order to operate an art gallery that buys and sells rare works of art. Bob contributes $5 million to Art in exchange for his shares in the corporation. Art uses most of the $5 million to purchase rare works of art. Art meticulously follows all of the corporate formalities. However, because Bob thinks that insurance is a waste of money and Bob is the President of Art, Art does not purchase any insurance. Unfortunately, an unexpected storm causes a flood, which destroys Art's gallery and all of the artwork. A few days after the storm, a curious individual named Phil, enters what is left of the gallery in an effort to see what damaged artwork looks like. While on the Art gallery premises, Phil is injured. Phil sues Art, claiming that Art should have posted caution signs. The court finds that an Art employee who was instructed to post caution signs failed to do so, and, Phil gets a judgment against Art for $75,000. Since Art has no remaining assets and Bob is rich, Phil brings a suit seeking to hold Bob personally liable for the $75,000 as the "alter ego" of Art. In a suit by Phil, should Phil be allowed to pierce Art's corporate veil?
